Biomedical technology resource center specializing in novel approaches and tools for neuroimaging. It develops novel strategies to investigate brain structure and function in their full multidimensional complexity. There is a rapidly growing need for brain models comprehensive enough to represent brain structure and function as they change across time in large populations, in different disease states, across imaging modalities, across age and sex, and even across species. International networks of collaborators are provided with a diverse array of tools to create, analyze, visualize, and interact with models of the brain. A major focus of these collaborations is to develop four-dimensional brain models that track and analyze complex patterns of dynamically changing brain structure in development and disease, expanding investigations of brain structure-function relations to four dimensions.

The UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics and Proteomics carries out research in bioenergy, structural biology, genomics and proteomics, consistent with the research mission of the United States Department of Energy. Major interests of the 12 Principal Investigators and 9 Associate Members include systems approaches to organisms, structural biology, bioinformatics, and bioenergetic systems. The Institute sponsors 5 Core Technology Centers, for X-ray and NMR structural determination, bioinformatics and computation, protein expression and purification, and biochemical instrumentation. Services offered by this Institute: - Databases: * DIP (The Database of Interacting Proteins): The DIPTM database catalogs experimentally determined interactions between proteins. It combines information from a variety of sources to create a single, consistent set of protein-protein interactions. * ProLinks Database of Functional Linkages: The Prolinks database is a collection of inference methods used to predict functional linkages between proteins. These methods include the Phylogenetic Profile method which uses the presence and absence of proteins across multiple genomes to detect functional linkages; the Gene Cluster method, which uses genome proximity to predict functional linkage; Rosetta Stone, which uses a gene fusion event in a second organism to infer functional relatedness; and the Gene Neighbor method, which uses both gene proximity and phylogenetic distribution to infer linkage. - Data-to-Structure Servers: * SAVEs Structure Verification Server * Merohedral Twinning Test Server * SER Surface Entropy Reduction Server * VERIFY3D Structure Verification Server * ERRAT Structure Verification Server - Structure-to-Function Servers: * ProKnow Protein Functionator * Hot Patch Functional Site Locator

The aim of the Neural Prediction Challenge is to accelerate the development of predictive models and to provide computational neuroscientists an opportunity to test their models objectively. The challenge is really quite simple: you will be given some (visual and/or auditory) stimuli and corresponding neural responses, and you must try to predict responses to other stimuli. Each data set will be divided in to two subsets: a fit set (90% of the data) that includes both the stimuli and the corresponding neuronal responses; and a validation set (10% of the data) that includes only stimuli (no responses). Your job is to use the fit set to fit your model and then to generate predicted responses based on the stimuli provided in the validation set. Once you have the predictions you should return them to us. We will compare your predicted responses to the responses actually observed in the validation set. Current data consist of recordings from visual and auditory neurons during naturalistic stimulation. Data are provided in simple ascii files that are easily readable in Matlab (or by any other modern programming language). Details on data formatting are provided with each data set. Predictions will be evaluated continuously as they are received and results will be posted in aggregate form. Individuals' names, prediction scores and models will not be posted without prior permission (though we may contact participants directly, see official rules). Please note that this is an academic research project, it is not a traditional contest. There is no real ending date, and there is nothing to win. Sponsors: This project is supported by the NIH Human Brain Project.

Software providing a HTML5/javascript based browser for visualizing RNA-seq results in the familiar track layout of common genome browser. But given the quantitative nature of RNA-seq data, in addition to visualizing sequence coverage, the browser quantitates transcript abundance across regions of interest. The HTML5 functionality is made of use to render all the tracks using the canvas drawing element. This greatly reduces the load on servers and allows for rich interactive graphics without the need for third-party plugins. Furthermore, this framework completely segregates data from visualization, making development much easier. The browser is designed to run on all modern browsers: Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer (though not recommended).

A desktop application for the analysis, visualization and data-mining of large-scale genomic data. It is a versatile microarray tool, incorporating sophisticated algorithms for clustering, visualization, classification, statistical analysis and biological theme discovery. MeV generates informative and interrelated displays of expression and annotation data from single or multiple experiments. A huge array of alrogithms are included in MeV modules, and are available at a button-click, such as K-means clustering, Hierarchical clustering, t-Tests, Significance Analysis of Microarrays, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, and EASE. Extensive documentation is available for helping new users get started with MeV. A Quickstart Guide provides the tutorial a brand new person will need to get their first dataset loaded and displayed in the program. Returning MEV users will want to check out the release notes to see what new features are available in the latest versions of the program. Tutorials have been written about several of its more involved features.

Educational resources that provide accurate and unbiased information about topics in genetics, bioscience and health for global and local audiences. They are jargon-free, target multiple learning styles, and often convey concepts through animation and interactivity. The Genetic Science Learning Center is a science and health education program located in the midst of the bioscience research being carried out at the University of Utah. Our mission is making science easy for everyone to understand. * Two websites, available free of charge to Internet users worldwide: ** Learn.Genetics delivers educational materials on genetics, bioscience and health topics. They are designed to be used by students, teachers and members of the public. The materials meet selected US education standards for science and health. ** Teach.Genetics provides resources for K-12 teachers, higher education faculty, and public educators. These include PDF-based Print-and-Go™ activities, unit plans and other supporting resources. The materials are designed to support and extend the materials on Learn.Genetics. *Professional development programs that update K-16 teachers' expertise in bioscience and health topics as well as prepare them to implement the materials on our websites. * Community programs that engage with diverse communities in discussions about genetics and health, and in developing culturally and linguistically-appropriate educational materials. Some topics in genetics and bioscience research are controversial. The Center does not take sides in political or ethical controversies. Rather, our goal is to provide comprehensive information that promotes a lively discussion of these topics, so that individuals can arrive at their own informed decisions.

Software toolbox that manages your RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq data and also produces many different plots to visualize your data. It performs several tasks that are usually required during the analysis of mapped RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq reads, including data selection and data visualization. It includes the selection (or the exclusion) of the data that overlaps with a reference set, clustering and comparative analysis. It also provides many ways to visualize data: size of the reads, density on the genome, distance with respect to a reference set, and the correlation of two data sets (with cloud plots). A computer science background is not required to run it through a graphical interface and it can be run on any personal computer, yielding results within an hour for most queries.
